re: 2014 Class - Commit with most upside

Don't mind at all Topisaw.

I didn't touch on Quinn because he is so advanced. His body and skillset are close to where they're gonna end up. That said, I think his current progress all around is where most of the top wrs want to get. Hes that far ahead of most developmentally. He is so much like Landry in that regard. Sometimes what a kid has currently is so good that upside is not really a factor. Others are looking up at kids like Landry and Quinn.

Gamble-I'm no kicker expert so I can't really say much about him. Has a huge leg but can he kick it straight?

Clapp is a good one but I don't see huge upside. I see a good SEC caliber OG that gets to the NFL and just hangs around because if his mindset and work ethic.

I see where people get on the Upchurch train because I'm on it myself. Kid is a stud. I just don't see the upside at wr. Hes already getting to the point of being too big at wr as it goes with his speed and athletic gifts so his upside is limited there. He will improve as a route runner and his hands some but he's already ahead of a lot of kids. At TE he has quite a bit of upside because his body can develop so much but how much and how much does it hurt is athletic gifts? Also limiting his upside to me is this, what is he? Is he a wr? TE? Hback? Hard to judge upside when its unknown exactly where his skillset fits best. His talent is unquestionable but what good is it if he has no true position? I ask myself sometimes is his upside better on defense? Don't know the answer because I haven't seen him on that side but his body screams LB or rush end to me. I think the kid will be a productive player on offense but how productive? Is he gonna catch over 20-25 balls a year? Hard for me to see that. The other wrs are more talented and better wr fits and the TEs like Smith and Washington are better bodies and athletic bodies at TE. I hope the kid finds a spot and thrives but I have a hard time figuring out exactly where and how he produces.

All in all, who knows. We all have our own good, sound opinions and that's why I come here and read what you good fellas think. Who knows who's right? That's what makes these threads fun to read.
